The Sovyet class, is a class of anti-ship and anti-aircraft guided-missile destroyers of the Usezoyan Navy.

Design

Missiles

The class is outfitted with the P-270 Moskit Anti-ship missile system with two four-cell launchers installed port and starboard of the forward island and set at an angle of about 15 degrees. The Moskit system is a sea-skimming missile platform that has a velocity of 2.5 mach and delivers a 300-kilogram HE payload to ranges of 120 kilometers to strike surface targets.

Located between the forward island and the AK-130 gun emplacement are the Vertical launching systems of the class.

The ship has a 64-cell Vertical Launching platform to operate the Kalibr anti-ship missile family. This missile platform uses a solid-fuel rocket to propel it out of the launch tube and away from the ship before a turbojet engine activates for the duration of it's flight. The Kalibr is a highly modular platform, but is most commonly utilised as a subsonic weapon reaching speeds of 0.8 mach, delivering a 450kg high-explosive payload to ranges of 300 kilometers. The P-800 Oniks is also capable of being deployed in the same launcher, which is a supersonic ramjet-powered missile that is able to travel at 2.6 mach to deliver a 300kg semi-armour piercing high explosive payload 300 kilometers away.

In front of the 64-cell anti-ship platform is the 9M96E anti-air missile, which is a high-performance weapon system which travels over 2.6 mach to hit a target, such as an aircraft or subsonic cruise missile, with a 24kg fragmentation payload. The ship carries 32 of these in the front missile area.

Mounted in front of the hangar but on the hangar structure sits two 12-cell cylinder launchers for the 9K330 surface-to-air missile system, which is a solid-fuel propelled platform capable of rapidly accellerating to 2.5 mach to rapidly reach an incoming missile or aircraft 12 kilometers away with a 15 kilogram payload.

Guns

The primary gun platform of the class is the distinctive AK-130 dual-barrel 130mm naval gun located on the front of the ship, which is capable of being autonomously controlled by an operator in a protected environment or operated in a fully automatic mode to fire up to 30-40 rounds per minute per barrel. The AK-130 is equipped with it's own dual-band radar which can track two targets simultaneously to ranges of 75 km, which when combined with a variety of munition types such as standard HE or point-fuse fragmentation rounds allows the weapon to target enemy surface ships, aircraft or enemy missiles.

The ship has two 30 mm AK-630M2 auto-cannon systems, designed to function as a Close-in weapon system or CIWS. The system features a high rate of fire (estimated 10,000 rounds per minute) for intercepting incoming missiles at ranges of up to 5 kilometers. The twin-barrel systems feature a high in-weapon ammunition reserve of 4,000 rounds, allowing it to continue to function should the weapons magazine be compromised during the course of a battle.

Anti-submarine systems

The ship features two triple 533mm (21 in) torpedo tubes located port and starboard of the hangar and is capable of being deployed from a collapsible rail system. The torpedo is effective to ranges of 50 kilometers with a speed of 60 knots while also carrying a 300 kilogram payload which can be set to proximity detonation. The torpedo is also capable of being programmed quickly to loiter at a designated position with the intention of intercepting enemy torpedoes.

The destroyer is also equipped with two 6-barreled RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket systems, which are capable of firing a large variety of passive and active payloads. The most common payload uses a 23 kilogram warhead and is fired to ranges of 1.5 kilometers to 5.5 kilometers. A new payload is capable of active guidance to deliver a 19 kilogram shaped charge to it's target, allowing it to punch through the hull of a hostile submarine and also allowing it to target divers and torpedoes.

Helicopter

The ship features a fixed hangar and a large helicopter pad to operate two Kamov Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopters. The ship is also capable of operating the Kamov Ka-52K, a dedicated attack helicopter capable of fast strikes on enemy sea and land targets.

Countermeasures

Featured aboard the destroyer are four standard chaff launchers, located on the four corners of the ships main structure and are able to be triggered manually or automatically by the ships threat detection software.

Installed in 2016, four new Advanced Defensive Launcher systems, positioned between the funnel and hangar structures, is capable of launching passive and active countermeasures. These countermeasures are capable of firing a pattern of IR-fooling chaff, defeating electronic-guided munitions, entering the water for anti-torpedo passive defense, or active-kill munitions to seek out and destroy incoming torpedoes. Short-range missiles are also housed in the ADLS, capable of striking targets up to 850 meters from the vessel. The same missile motor is also used to launch and then keep an IR and electromagnetic decoy aloft to fool certain kinds of guidance software.
